Chapter Sixteen

Everything’s changed between us, Levi thought as he knelt beside his bed. Please help me do the right thing. I don’t want to hurt Heather. I’ve known her forever, and her family means a lot to me.

He paused, his thoughts racing to and fro, forward and back, right and left. Should I be kissing her? Tell me if I should stop.

Levi kept his eyes closed and he tried to listen with his mind, his ears, and his heart. He couldn’t get an impression either way.

I like kissing her, he thought. And I wasn’t lying when I said I liked having her here. Am I doing something wrong?

He didn’t feel like he was, so he got to his feet and looked around the master bedroom for something to occupy his time. He had about an hour before he’d need to wake Heather so they could get over to her parents’. He’d checked on the goats, and they were all doing fine.

Unable to allow the walls to contain him, he went out to the stables, intending to take Cloud Chaser out for a ride. He arrived at the white horse’s stall with hay cubes in his palm. “You want to get outta here?” he asked the horse.

Cloud Chaser seemed to nod as he lifted his head over the gate and lowered it to take the hay cube.

“You’ll have to wear a saddle,” Levi told him. “I’m takin’ care of a woman now, and I can’t get hurt.” He usually rode Cloud Chaser bareback, but he fed the horse another hay cube and went to get the saddle, blanket, and harness he needed.

With the horse properly equipped and in the yard, Levi swung himself onto Cloud Chaser’s back. “All right. Let’s go see if we can get Elle to get Heather some more clothes.”

He continued talking to the horse, telling him about the Rib Shack, and the drive where he got to hold Heather’s hand, and all about the kiss at the river.

“It’s weird, right? I haven’t dated anyone in years. Even when I’ve tried, I break things off pretty dang fast.” He thought about Capri and how he’d gone out with her four times before saying he wasn’t interested. And he wasn’t interested in telling her all the nitty gritty details about his life.

But somehow, he’d told Heather. And she still seemed to like him. He arrived at the house where he’d grown up, and he dismounted in one smooth move. He tethered Cloud Chaser to the deck railing and walked up the steps. Pushing through the back door, he called, “Elle?”

“Levi, dear, how are you?” His mother looked up from her knitting. She sat on the couch to his left, the sprawling kitchen to the right. Drake came trotting over, his nails making clicking sounds on the kitchen tile. Levi bent down and scratched the dog. “Hey, bud. Hey, how are you?”

Drake’s tongue lolled out of his mouth, and Levi straightened. “Just fine, Ma.” He gave her a quick kiss and sat in the recliner.
